Abstract

BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is a prevalent chronic degenerative joint condition that is having a growing impact on a global scale., posing a challenge in diagnosis which is often reliant on time-consuming and error-prone visual analysis by physicians. There is a critical need for an automated, efficient, and accurate diagnostic method to improve early detection and treatment.
